Total sales for the full year were £304 million, an increase of 36%. Underlying EBITDA increased to £45.6 million, with strong retail sales offset by restaurant trading, which was affected by Covid restrictions.
During the period, the group acquired Johnsons Garden Centre, Boston, and continued its roll-out of Little Dobbies with three new stores in Chiswick, Richmond and Westbourne Grove.
Chairman, Andrew Bracey, said: “Dobbies has continued to demonstrate resilience and progress throughout a challenging period. We remain confident in the underlying strength of the business.”
Ceo, Graeme Jenkins, continued: “During FY22, Dobbies delivered excellent performance through a period of significant change and I would like to thank all of our team members for their continued support and commitment.
“As we navigate challenging and unpredictable trading conditions throughout FY23, we remain focused on delivering great value to our customers.”
